The monthly fee is due year-round. The club is really supposed be an alternative to ownership. The club is still taking care of the maintenance, winterization, storage, and anything else a typical boat owner would take care of in the offseason.
One of the cool features of the club is reciprocity at over 100 other Carefree Boat Clubs around the country and internationally. Members are allowed up to 3 reservations at every other Carefree Boat Club each year.
